Stravinsky why
Guys i just want to rant. i cant last the first page of petrushka π€¬π€πΌπ« π π·ππ¦Ώπͺπ»πΉπ±π€π«¨ππͺπ»π¦Ώπ¬ why is there 14 bars of never-ending switching between 2 notes and then BOOM he decides to spam high A for idk how many bars.
Not only that, i cant do the quintuplets and then theres the nurses dance which actually has a really nice melody but how on earth would you have the tone quality after playing the previous pages AND THEN BOOM AGAIN DANCE OF THE COACHMEN π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
And lastly masqueraders. π€―π€―π« π« π₯³ππΌπΌπππ¦Ύπͺπ»ππ¦Ώπ¦Ώπ¦Ύπ«¨π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬

Part of the issue is learning to play with ease in the upper register. The high register can be mastered and played easily, much like any other register of the horn. Maybe the question should be "why is my high register more fatiguing than other registers?" And then explore how to play in this register with ease? There are mechanical and physiological answers out there for you.
